I know some of you are using GPS units to locate graves,
cemeteries, old homesteads, and the like.

I'd like one to use for exactly those purposes.

Which models in which brands will allow me to retrieve
lat/lon a week after I mark the spot? Not all of 'em do,
apparently.

I have never used mine to locate a grave site. I have county maps and
graveyards are marked on them. If a site is found that is not on the
map marking can be done manually.

Three brands are popular for cars, Garmin, Tom-Tom and Magellan. The
type that is used in the car may not be what you want for lat/lon.

Or, you can do what we did when fishing years ago - when you find a
good fishing hole, mark an "X" on the side of the boat. 8-)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Louisiana Gal.
